    Love my Nox as recommended 3 years ago by everyone in the NYC crew and their honest reviews. Still going strong. Love it. Lot of new detectors on the market since then but you can trust Mr. Tones. Straight up no BS reviews.

    I have the Nox900 and the AT Pro. True statement that the Pro sucks on salt water beaches... that's why I got the Nox900. However, with an aftermarket NEL Tornado coil, the Pro can match the depth of the Nox. In the end, choose what detector works for you depending on your soil conditions. If you need help choosing a detector, this community is always willing to help (although some personal bias might interfere with being totally objective). Great video, Lou.

    I've been metal detecting since 1971 and seen a lot of changes in the industry. What never changes are these snake oil sales pitches. I like what you said when you said you should go to folks that are true metal detectorists and are out in the field testing and reviewing these machines. Thanks for a great video and I hope it helps new detectorist buy the right machine for their needs.

    False advertising sells to ones who do not take time to research what they are buying. My first metal detector was the Tracker 4 and I found a lot of great stuff.. I then went to a Ace250 thinking it would work on the beach because it is advertised as a great beach detector, Boy was a disappointed. Went back to the TK4. I learned it is best to take the time and research the Metal Detector that you would like to swing. I own 12 metal detectors now. Why? Cause I fell into the false advertising .before I did my own researching.. Great info Buddy .. Peace

    Ya, the amazon affiliate link has destroyed the idea of online reviews. I've had my AT Pro and AT Max underwater at lakes countless times, never a concern. Paid for themselves many times over. But it's pointless taking them near salt water, and they aren't price competitive anymore to buy new, can get better now for less. The Ace Apex is great in the wet at a salt water beach, happy to have it - but the target separation makes it painful to use in other places. Before spring, I'm going to sell my AT Pro and Ace Apex, pool in the clad I've collected over the past couple years so that it doesn't really cost me anything and will probably buy a Manticore. Save the AT Max as a backup. (unless I hear that people are having flooding problems with the manticore.)

    Hello from Fryslan/the Netherlands, i've been following Merrill for years, now also this channel, i'm a detectorist for almost 30 years, when i'm approached by people i give non-biased info, it's about what they want, what they expect, and what's affordable to them. I tell them that i only payed for my first two detectors, later on the finds did😊. I mention that you need to dig a tremendous amount of trash to get there. I tell that i still own most of my detectors, upgrading when possible or because of new/ better tricks. They always ask how much gold i have found, my answer is always the same: "how much have you lost?" . Most important i tell them how much fun this hobby/addiction is, how healthy it is to be in the open, how much fun your first find can be, how relaxing (i have a terrible tinnitus), but most of all the fun part, i think this can not be mentioned enough. A final question: will you be rating the Nexus Merrill bought lately, i'd be very interested in the fine tuning this machine offers. So, greetings from Fryslan, Doede van Kammen .

    Started with the Ace 250 for about 2 weeks then bought the Simplex & it was 5X better than the Ace then I got the Legend & absolutely love it.
    I’m thinking my next would be the Deus 2 or maybe the Nox 700 or 900.

    I started with the cheapo Bounty Hunter years ago. It was fun and I did ok but it goes nuts near salt water. For years now I've enjoyed my Nox 800. It's so light & easy to learn. My warranty issues have been broken coil ears & a split charger cord (also several swap outs of the headphones, they're lousy). The warranty people at Minelab are so easy to work with, just send it in & in less than 10 days it's back to me. I love it & plan to buy another & retire the one I have in April when the warranty is up to keep as a backup. I don't submerge my Nox based on what I hear from others who do & flood their machines. This was a good video, will hit that subscribe button!

    I had to skip through 6 narrated video on metal detectors before I found your video. Listening to those narrated videos, you might as well go ask a Walmart employee in the shoe department for the best metal detectors. I'm still using my White's Eagle II that I bought brand new back in my late 20s. It's great, but heavy. Time to get something that can handle wet beach sand and lighter.

    Hi i a beginner to detecting and the detector i have is a AT pro and i used it on the beach and it was ok on the dry but when it went to the wet it churped like a bird so i looked on TH-cam and saw Merrill's video's and sent him a message about the at pro and he explained why and what was happening, he then advised me to look for something more modern as the at pro is old tech , so i looked various machines and spoke to other detectorist and the im seriously thinking about is the nokta legend and after watching Merrill's video's on the legend they just steer me towards it but it is a bit pricey. My question is , would you agree with it as a good choice?

    I'm wanting to start sniping fresh water streams, challenging spots with snorkel mask drysuit Hood, flippers, weight belt. Also work shores and fields for Gold down to small .25 gram
    I guess if I had to describe the perfect metal detector it would be completely waterproof for some bottom searches, in the ability to work the shores and Fields with interchangeable batteries, ability to detect small gold, fast sweep, 2 feet down.
    I figure I probably need a fully waterproof wand style for diving down in for honing in I don't know if the new ones have some kind of side capabilities.
    Figure i would start with the main unit something quality.
    Any thoughts?

No number read out but the analog lever does the same. Affordable but high quality. Save your money and try one first. Sure people laugh how little it cost but at the end of the day show me what you found with your overpriced machine. but but but is all they can say.

    A bit off topic. I'm relatively new to MD have brought the Nox 900 as recommended by a local MD.

    • @IndianaTones
      @IndianaTones  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The optimal height for your metal detector shaft depends on your personal comfort and the specific model of metal detector you are using. However, there are some general guidelines you can follow to determine the appropriate height:
      Adjust the shaft height so that you can comfortably grip the handle without having to bend over or stretch too much. This ensures that you can use the metal detector for an extended period without causing strain or discomfort.
      Your elbow should be at a slight angle when holding the detector. This angle allows for better control and maneuverability. Adjust the shaft height to achieve a comfortable elbow angle while maintaining a relaxed grip on the handle.
      The coil of the metal detector should be close enough to the ground for effective scanning. However, it shouldn't be so low that it constantly hits the ground or obstacles, as this can affect the detector's performance and cause unnecessary wear.
      Consider your own height when adjusting the shaft. Taller individuals may need to extend the shaft to maintain a comfortable operating position, while shorter individuals may need to shorten it.
      Check the user manual or guidelines provided by the manufacturer of your metal detector. Manufacturers often include recommendations on how to properly adjust the shaft for optimal performance.
      If you frequently detect in rough or uneven terrain, you may need to adjust the shaft height based on the specific conditions to maintain balance and stability.
      Experiment with different shaft heights to find the setting that works best for you. Take your metal detector to a test area and make adjustments until you find a comfortable and effective operating position.
      Remember that personal comfort is key, and there is no one-size-fits-all answer. It's a good idea to spend some time adjusting the shaft height and testing different settings to find what works best for your individual preferences and detecting style.
      Note: NEVER lean on your detector or use it to help you get up. It will break.

The fellow that sent me to watch your youtube links gave me some info on a Equinox 600. I was going to start off a bit cheaper in case i do not stick with it, but then thought maybe buy 1 and done.

    Tracker 4 x 4 yrs. Kind if sucjs/only like 80 bucks. Looking to get better...like around 200 bucks? Seems like such an easy topic/machine. it's a metal detector that should be able to distinguish between pot metal all the way up to gold very easily and go down like 10 inches. what's the best?? Now that i'm older comma money's fine. Curious about metal detectors more. Just starting to research. Just picked up panky 0074?.. Hundred bucks from two hundred. Impulse by on sale... Might return.

    Truer words we never spoken, thanks for taking the Detecting Baton from Merrill and keeping I RATE METAL DETECTORS alive well and independent. Great job Lou. I bought the nox 800 for me and the Garrett Max for my daughter,(loves Nugget Noggin) and we went to the beach, ...she could not detect, it just rang up on everything, had to turn the sensitivity down to lowest and notch out the low numbers, so it basically was a real handicapped detector in the wet sand, the Nox had no problems at all and could run full power.

    Hey Lou, just had a question for you. You have much more experience than I do so I thought you might be able to answer my question. I started out with the bounty Hunter TK4. Immediately upgraded to the vanquish 440. I hunt trashy parks 95%of the time so not being water proof is not a problem. However do you feel that the new Nokta DS separates that much better that it would be worth upgrading to. Thank you for your time😎

      Probably the Minelab Goldmonster if your'e looking at new. A lot of older detectors still prove themselves. Maybe look at buying a good second hand machine and get some training! I can not stress how important training is. Another option or three is (a) hire a detector (b) join a club or (c) team up with some one who knows a little bit avout what you want to achieve.

Fast forward to todays choices, the simplex lite will hit coins at 12 inches deep for the same price you pay for a bounty hunter....go simplex or equinox, but steer clear bounty hunter

    The focus on your detector usage indicates you're nottalking about the best detectors- just the best budget adventure/beach detectors. I bought my gold monster specifically for gold- and its great for that, if I want a good beach detector, I'll get a low frequency detector that suits wet salty ground. Specific purposes is what people should be looking at, not so much vague general purpose otherwise theyll buy a detector that wont do any specific purpose that well.

      The Nokta Legend is almost the same as the Minelab Equinox. So I would say it is better and more capable than those other 2. There is now the Nokta Double Score which I would say is competition for the Vanquish and fully submersible, rechargable better target seperation etc.

      Hi Luisa. I haven’t reviewed many detectors under $200. To be honest. Most of them are similar. The one I did get I found silver with it. My suggestions is to make a test garden with different items to see how the detector IDs them and how it sounds. Also put iron nails close to some of the coins and rings you use to see if you can hear the difference. Your pinpointer on the machine can show how large an item is as you move it along. This will help you determine if you want to dig it or not. Be sure to ask questions on iratemetaldetectors.com also as some users may have the same inquiries or know the answers. We have a nice community of people wanting to help.

    My Bounty Hunter works great and was affordable. I am very impressed with it and have found many coins up to 10 inches deep. I tried a few other more expensive models friends own and they do not work any better. For sure Bounty Hunter is the best value metal detector brand i have found. One of the best purchases of my life. I use it often. Most metal dectors are extremely over priced. Most companies just want to make money and are not trying to make a affordable product the average low income dectorist can buy. I can probably find anything any other brand can find and maybe more. Everything i need.

Two 9 volts and earbuds with a adapter. Very sensitive. It is a matter of opinion sure a rechargeable battery would save from buying 9 volt batteries but it would need to be replaced in time. Maybe more work with a simple machine but still possible.

I know a certain person whom you have a close partnership with who did just that.

But interesting finds nothing but zinc and crap with other detectors.

      This part was mainly about electronics and metal detectors. Im sorry this is all you got out of the video which isn’t the highlight. As you must know a lot of electronics from unverified Amazon sellers are Fugazi. Not only that, there’s now hundreds of cheap subpar detectors with ramped up fake reviews that are inadequate detectors. Unknowing consumers may not know to verify sellers and just buy the cheapest option they see only to be disappointed in the end with either a subpar product or a knockoff.
      Nevertheless never received anything in any club I run or am apart of from Amazon. As stated “I shop on Amazon” but when it comes to electronics and metal detectors which I am well versed in the advice is simple. Buy from who you want to but know there’s vetting you must check unless you go straight to the source, the distributors which happen to be mostly small business. Yes we know there’s small business sellers on Amazon and agree that’s great but there’s an issue with these products on Amazon.
